I have a 92 dodge stealth sohc when i got it it had fuel issues i replaced fuel filter, spark plugs, distributer cap and roter. Seemed to run fine after that but now it overheats and problems start over. I replaced termastat, flushed rad and checked water pump. Could it be a fuel pump relay? My understanding that the relay is dual function for fuel pump and ecu if someone could help would be nice

I owned a 91 model--glad you have the sohc as the dohc has real problems.

some general thoughts:

The relay is possible but does the electric fan come on? If it does not after 10 minutes it will overheat.

Saw two where water pump caused same issue.

Check for possible head gasket leaking(compression tested?)

Another valuable resource I have used is the Socal 3S club located in the LA area of California---they have a online forum with areas for problems and solutions---free to join and they have several segments for parts and problems and general back and forth.

Again my experience here is based on owning both a SOHC and a Twin Turbo made in 91-----not like working on a ford...........

Let me know if I can help in any way----you are more likely to get good help from one of the many forums dedicated to these cars than here.

SOURCE: 93 dodge stealth sohc ran fine one day then wouldnt start

first you must determine if it has fire, and fuel pressure if so then injector pulse. Any OBD codes???? you really need a scanner to go any further without guessing.

95 chevy blazer - engine turning over but not turning. replaced cap & rotor + fuel filter.

3 things make an engine run, fuel, electrics and gearing, first thing, remove the cap and crank the engine, determine if the rotor is moving, this will eliminate a broken cam, sprockets, chain or broken teeth on the distributer. next with the ignition lights on rotate the roter button by hand in between contacts, you should hear and see small spark, replace the cap and crank engine with a plug lead off, ask a friend to see if it is sparking onto metal nearby. Next remove fuel line and crank engine to see if fuel pushes from the line. then that leaves gearing, timing must be correct, check the lead numbers are in correct firing order and timing is right. Hope this guide helps you, Good luck

What parts are exchange in a tune-up for a 2001 grand caravan with 164000miles?

Tune up is a very vague word. But I would suggest, replacing spark plugs, wires, Clean throttle body, replace air andf fuel filters, check drive belt.

Idles poorly

OR MAYBE YOUR GAS FILTER LOCATED UNDER YOUR OIL FILTER, PANEL UNBOLTS UNDER RIGHT FENDER WELD FOR EASY ACCESS, THE BIGGEST FIX FOR ME WAS TO TAKE OFF THE ADVANCE AUTO BRAND NEW SPARK PLUG WIRES AND INSTALL NAPA WIRES, DISTRIBUTER, ROTAR BUTTON, AND NGK ORIGINAL SPARK PLUGS. ROB
